Winona Ryder on 20/20 in 1999 while promoting her film "Girl, Interrupted." She's very honest about bouts of depression and anxiety attacks during height of her success. The second half of the interview is also downloaded.
Look I think she is pretty everything but you guys got a remember every has an opinion and not everybody is super jealous of somebody that might been generally their opinion but they didn’t think she was pretty enough you need to realize that OK because you need to realize that everybody’s jealous because he say my cost to buy ugly I think everybody’s pretty their own Way but you again you have to realize every has different opinions and I guarantee there’s some pills that don’t think she’s pretty I know some people I don’t think she’s pretty and I don’t judge them think she is but you need to realize every has a different opinions and let them because you don’t agree with it
As someone who experienced depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues i truly relate to her. It doesn't matter how many people worships you when depression hits you, you feel like the only person in the world, so invisible and lonely.
Yep I deal with the same things and people don’t understand because people that care about you but you feel like you don’t nobody either nobody cares you feel like you’re alone I mean I don’t really get lonely but I’m an only child so I’m used to being by myself but my depression start more when my parents pass away in lifetimes I feel like you know nobody’s there you want to have people in my life that cares but you do you feel like it you know it’s really hard to explain and every depression it has is different though I’ve noticed every depression is different and people don’t understand like some people sit there and say when people were killed themselves they’re like all watch the sun watch the size but you know what if you don’t realize sometimes there’s no signs because there’s some people that live with depression and a whole lives and never heard themselves you know so people don’t realize there’s no signs and you can’t monitor somebody forever
Who doesn't love Johnny and Winona? I would wish though( because they're both stars and it is so possible for it) that if they ever "bump" into one another or see each other, at some event for instance, that they're at peace with each other, and don't get that uncomfortable feeling. That they can honestly smile at each other, and not have any romanticized longing feelings, it's not something they should feel, because it indicates unhappiness and that they really did want to stay together. But I am mad at Winona if she really did dump him for another fool. Why, always why?
Hernando Hernandez i heard that they broke up because her parents didn't like that Johnny's much older. Although I have the exact same thoughts as you, kind of funny that I feel so upset about some strangers' relationship
1:37 This speaks volumes on how beauty, fame and money don't bring peace and satisfaction. 4:24 That casting director had some nerve! Ryder has one of the loveliest faces I have ever seen. That mean woman must be sorry now.
I have always found Winona the most gorgeous woman alive and and amazing actress, even at 5 years old I fall in love with her when watching Edward Scissorhands. I couldn't imagine someone saying such incredibly mean and cruel thing to her. The more you know, even the best people suffer behind close doors and have their own dark and sad past. Winona forever. 💙
She's so honest, that's what i like about this actress. So down-to-earth. It's sad that she always feels so depressed. I think most young girls (myself included) could sympathize with her. There were times when I also felt lost and needed badly for something... someone... that i couldn't quite place. I'll always be a winona fan :D.
I honestly really relate to Winona. I was bullied for being different and it resulted me to have really bad depression and trust issues and I would also drive around and listen to music to calm myself down. I also was a big loner in school and I always felt like I had no one. And honestly, Winona is one of my favorite actresses and she is one of my inspirations for wanting to act.
It was brave of her to be candid about her depression and struggles back then. Now, more people talk about mental illness and depression. I'm really glad she took a long hiatus from Hollywood. I think it literally saved her life.
@@lomein222 I've been through deep dark depression and pulled myself out of it. Depression is a mental mind screw and f%#! There is light at the end of the tunnel. Churchill said if you're going through hell keep going. Im still better off having gone through it because now I'm more adept at handling depression. I'm praying 🙏 for you!
Winona Ryder has one of the most beautiful faces ever. She is an incredible actress, and I am sure every guy in the 90's wanted to be with her. However, childhood trauma ruins everyone's lives and changes their attitude potentially for the rest it. Depression is wicked and evil. For those of us with traumatic childhoods, it will stick with us, and prevent us from persuing our dreams long after the childhood phase is over.
I miss her. She was such a good actress, but I feel like I hardly see her on tv anymore. :( I loved her in the movie; Mermaids. She has this classic natural beauty to her. Beautiful face.

***** I think she must have been told that when was still developing, also she used to dress and wear her hair unconventionally. If you watch her in Lucas, you can see she wasn't the cheerleader type (hence her playing a marching band member instead)
Gwasgray During her high school years she was bullied because the other kids mistook her for a feminized boy. There was a story she shared where a group of girls followed her into the bathroom and beat the crap out of her. She said people would call "fag" while walking through the hall ways to class. They smeared cheese whiz in her hair during lunch. The school declared her to be a disruptive influence and expelled her from class. Her parents home schooled her and enrolled her into acting school to fill her free time. I read on the internet that someone that knew her during those days was with her while attending graduation and she had just finished Beetle Juice and they were asking her if she was a "witch" due to her black hair and goth appearance in the film.
Back in the 80's and early 90's if you weren't blonde, then you weren't beautiful. So many movies back then about a dweeby guy overlooking a gorgeous brunette or redhead to get to an unobtainable blonde. I'm sure the talent agent who told her that Winona wasnt pretty was one of the people perpetuating blondes are more beautiful myth. Winona, Jennifer Connelly, Christina Ricci, and Angelina Jolie destroyed that myth in the 90's.
Ive always loved this woman in all she gives on screen. She inspires me and i admire her greatly. She is one of a few celebrities, I would die a happy person, if able to meet. I hope she returns to acting, why waste that incredible talent
Why is not the opposite? Why can't you think that a lot of her wonderful traits come from her education? She seems very invested in Girl Interrupted which is about social expectations and what does it means to be normal, what's the value in that. So I don't think she would be better in a "normal" household without her hippie parents...
Beauty, even within conventional terms, comes in a great variety. Some ladies are sexy & voluptuous, others are delicate & gamine. That's Winona. She's gorgeous.
winona ryders yo soy tu fan numero uno te admiro tanto por tu talento y tu bellezame gustan mucho tus peliculas las tengo todas y las sirenitas es mi preferida dios te bendiga siempre
I think that they thought she was not _traditionally_ pretty enough, in the sense of irradiating traditional feminine beauty. She is very good looking for a person.
And the world is grateful Winona didn't stop making movies. After one shameless comment. She is more than pretty enough. Sorry for the hurt she had to endure in Hollywood.
